repeated disconnection on broadband

I experienced the fluctuating noise margin issue with a Netgear DG834G v2 which is on the list. I replaced it with a Speedtouch 585 and the problem disappeared. This is the reason I no longer recommend the DG834/G v1 or 2 especially for ADSL Max connections. Ironically though the DG834/G still handles long lines much better than many of its rivals.
